choffer Posted July 5, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2013 If, as is the case at my work, the gents has no urinals, just cubicles, is it imperative to shut the door to said cubicle if you're just having a tinkle? Just trying to work out if my indignation is righteous or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted July 5, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2013 In a work environment, I'd say shut the door, but in a public place. Na. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 5, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2013 It's a funny one alright. Probably not imperative, but still weird given that there is a door and the cubicle is occupied so ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 IMO, no. I personally know quite a few people who deliberately avoid urinals though - they always pick the cubicle over the urinal, unless there are no cubicles. It's a funny one alright. Probably not imperative, but still weird given that there is a door and the cubicle is occupied so ... Because opening the door and closing it combined probably take almost as much time as the piss itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay okay, but it's still a substantial amount of time relative to the time taken up by the piss itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2013 £800 scrap metal in a shopping trolley? What're the made of? Magnesium? Still sounds like a good idea though Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted July 12, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2013 I don't think there's that much metal value, but I believe they cost something like that if you take into account labour costs, delivery, maintenance, etc. But the metal's got to be worth more than a quid, provided you can find a scrap merchant who's not too scrupulous!

BOF Posted July 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2013 I don't doubt they cost that to buy. £800 was just a funny answer to your original question, given that your typical family saloon car has about £200-£300 scrap metal in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 12, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2013 Of course, a real master criminal would simply steal the trollies using a hacksaw, rather than dutifully inserting a quid into every one. I'm not really cut out for this crime of the century lark, am I? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
